The family would like to give special thanks to Kim Carr and her phenomenal staff at Heritage House Retirement Center. The care and love they gave Mrs. Parker was such a blessing to her and her family. Thank you also to Kim Shockley at Gentiva Hospice. Your compassion and expertise was very meaningful in those last days.
